Great post on slashdot about setting up a proper environment web developing. I’m posting a good one here for future reference. Enjoy.

This is Unix/OSX-centric, and I’ve been doing this for years and showing others the way:

* My code always has a standard layout (bin, conf, src, lib, and so on). No exceptions, because you never know when that little script will become a big app (this happens to me at least once a year).

* Use good coding practices: unit tests, continuous integration, whatever

Christmas 2006

Posted on by

Better late than never, but here is my Christmas 2006 list:

    I’m hoping to get a Nintendo Wii after Christmas so I’ll need some goodies to make it great:

  • Extra Wii Remote
  • Extra Wii Nunchuck (add on to the remote)
  • Nintendo Wii 512 MB Card
  • Nintendo Wii Component Video Cables
  • Zelda: Twilight Princess Game
  • Excite Truck Game
  • I’m in need of a nice business card holder. Preferably durable metal since the plastic one I have is almost destroyed.
  • Boxers with elastic sown in (not showing but under the material) and button fly.

    Think Geek Wishlist

    That is all I can think of for now. I’ll be posting more until the 15th then I’ll stop. Thanks for looking!
